Ganterbury Tales

Following Sunderland AFC away from home. From Arsenal to York, via Levi jackets to sleeping under the stars in the middle of some God forsaken roundabout, Ganterbury Tales chronicles each away game using an "extensive knowledge" of the English alphabet. More

Starting out as a nostalgic look back at following Sunderland AFC far and wide over quiet pint, Ganterbury Tales is a ridiculously detailed recollection of the halcyon days when watching the Lads away from home was usually a step into the unknown.

Authors Sobs and Pos bring together a daft story for almost every away game and ground and their experiences will re-ignite long lost memories for those hardy pilgrims who have braved planes, trains, automobiles and coaches to follow our famous club through thick and thin over the years.

So here it is: from Arsenal to York, via Levi jackets to sleeping under the stars in the middle of some God forsaken roundabout, Ganterbury Tales chronicles each away game using an "extensive knowledge" of the English alphabet (or from A to Z) and spans over 40 years of life on the road as a fan of Sunderland AFC.

A Love Supreme may seem an unlikely title for a football magazine. Rather than try and explain it we'll leave you to consider the following passage. "True supporters care. They care enough to argue vehemently but often perceptively about the team, the players, the issues; they care enough to commit themselves to the cause of the club; they care enough to turn up week after week to support the team; they care enough to criticise, among themselves, their own players. The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference.”
